Any chance to add WPCLI to the Debian/Fedora repositories? #4598
Description
I very much desire to someday just do apt-get install wp-cli (or apt-get install wpcli), instead doing:
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wp-cli/builds/gh-pages/phar/wp-cli.phar
chmod +x wp-cli.phar
mv wp-cli.phar /usr/local/bin/wp
Of course, it's not critical, and it's not very important, it could just help making a few scripts tiny bit shorter, and a tiny bit nicer.

We already have both Debian and RPM packages available for download.

The problem is not one of approval, but rather that no one is able and willing to maintain these.
If some one steps up and volunteers to take care of these reliably, I'm all for it.

@benqzq Just released WP-CLI in a PPA for Ubuntu, that could be helpful for you: https://launchpad.net/~tiagohillebrandt/+archive/ubuntu/wp-cli

@schlessera consider me stepping up to take care of this reliably.
Now, how does one go about that?
I'm happy to do the research myself, but if anyone already has documentation they could point me to, that would be helpful.
@tiagohillebrandt would it not be possible for us to tag-team on this, you've already created the build, I could manage the part of submitting it to the Debian repos.
Opinions, suggestions, experiences in this area, and comments welcome.

What do we think of the concept of using a snap?

Would solve the problem of wanting to be able to install and update wp cli with a single command, without needing to submit and maintain an official Debian package?
Would also work across multiple Linux platforms.

Hi @schlessera can you install WP CLI in Fedora 30+
using command to install
sudo dnf install wp-clihttps://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/wp-cli

@blackfile Would you mind adding a short section to the documentation here regarding this platform: https://make.wordpress.org/cli/handbook/installing/ ?
You can just click the "Edit" button in the top-right corner to enter an interactive editor.

@jonathanbossenger @tiagohillebrandt Is this issue fully solved? Are there any changes you'd suggest to either release checklist?

Just tested on a newly built rocky linux 9 - no match - checked the link provided earlier in the thread and it's throwing a 404

Hi @liquidblack This is the correct link https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/wp-cli/wp-cli/

Thanks for the link - the only repository I could find that had wp-cli in for rocky 9 according to
https://rhel.pkgs.org/9/getpagespeed-noarch/wp-cli-2.10.0-1.el9.noarch.rpm.html
was installed like this
sudo yum -y install https://extras.getpagespeed.com/release-latest.rpm
